Unlikely and who will hold the escalation ladder? Limited war is great in theory but not in practice. Also those dwindling spares from Russia will only make the matters worse post conflict so why would Pakistan be content with a limited war when clearly supply chain issues will impact them a lot...
Why not buy AEW or AWACS instead of more jets? F-15s sound nice but without significant electronic warfare and early warning capabilities, EAF will remain a second tier air force.
Looks like Brazil is retiring its Mi-35s just after 12 years in service. Wonder how our handful will fare with spare support (or lack thereof) with the Russians at war...
No one is above criticism but it has to be justified and not just for the sake of it. No reason to put people up on a pedestal just because they served in the military else your common day bad actors will enjoy the benefits of that blanket immunity as well. I put my life at risk for others every...
If we take the premise that target information (along with approach vectors were pre-fed), fuel/range would explain why the missile might fall short of intended target.
The launch site from a test/exercise area might not be the same as the intended launch sites during war.
However, surprised...
Tracking and monitoring goes both ways. It is quite possible that the Indian radars themselves also failed to track the launch. Guesswork on my part, but the missile was launched accidently, then the fact hidden by the crew/unit to escape punishment, and Indian command finally figuring it out...
The mod deleted my post when I commented on that but its basically falsehood the pilot should not have said. Seems like a disease of calling everything JF-17 related indigenous.
A little repetitive but still good to watch the interview with the Black Spiders' boss.
F-7PG also gets some love which is refreshing.
Overall one of the better shows I have seen so far compared to the rest, and definitely the F-7PG pilot is very mature and frank.
I anticipate USAF asking PAF to pretty please bring J-10 to the next exercise with them. Will be interesting to see if we take this jet to Anatolian Eagle or not with the NATO presence as well
NH90 is not a good choice for PN. The most likely induction will be Z-20F/J though I think we should have a shore based chopper with better capabilities like the AW101, even if in fewer numbers though unlikely given how expensive these are.
